Main

Amber Ahmed

I have studied medicine, engineering and data science. I have worked in diverse set of industries. I believe that one way of finding efficient and long lasting solutions to existing problems is by harnessing the power of data. I have spearheaded data visualization and automation projects that have been critical in identifying process mismatch, reducing engineering time and associated labor costs.

Currently searching for a position that allows me to build data-driven solutions leveraging a combination of process engineering and data science to help create robust chemical manufacturing processes.

Industry Experience

I have worked as a process engineer in high volume manufacturing as well as R&D. I have created a process analytics dashboard for a process with more than 40 critical parameters. I have led a team of technicians on R&D process manufacturing floor while serving as the liaison for cross functional team collaboration. I have completed training in process design for six sigma and robotic process automation. I perform best in a collaborative work environment.
